'''Pluto''' is a | '''Pluto''', formal designation '''134340 Pluto''', is a small celestial object in the [[Solar System]], and the second-largest known dwarf planet (after Eris) as well as the tenth-largest body observed directly orbiting the [[Sun]]. It was named after the Roman God of the Underworld. The [[Remote Scanning Outpost]] ''[[Democritus]]'' is on this Dwarf Planet. On November 3, [[2552]], the Monitoring Station detected [[Cortana]]'s signal in [[Slipspace]] with [[Dr. Halsey]]'s message to [[Lord Hood]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 212</ref> | ||
As of 2552 there are no [[Human]] facilities on the dwarf-planet's surface, however several military and scientific stations orbit Pluto.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', page 283</ref> The only known such facility is [[Kelvin Research Station]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

Pluto was discovered | Pluto was discovered during 1930, and was then thought to be the ninth and final planet of the Solar System. Its first moon, Charon, was discovered during 1978. During 2005, two smaller moons were discovered. During 2006, arguments began to arise on whether Pluto was actually large enough to be considered a planet. After much debate, Pluto (along with the asteroid Ceres and the object Eris) became newly classified as dwarf planets. | ||
In 2006, a space probe named ''New Horizons'' was launched to gather more information on Pluto. It was scheduled to arrive at the dwarf planet in 2014 or 2015. It was the first spacecraft to ever visit Pluto. | |||
